WARNING! Everyone should read this

Okay, I want to warn all of you guys that, someone has been sending an email with the titles, Osama Bin Laden has been hanged/captured.

If you get this email, do not open it, it contains a deadly virus wich totally destroys your computer. Here, the whole story:

URGENT!!

TWO SUBJECT LINES TO BEWARE OF: just verified this with Snopes and it is REAL.
ALSO WENT TO TRUTH OR FICTION AND IT'S on their site also. PLEASE INFORM
EVERYONE Emails with pictures of Osama Bin-Laden hanged are being sent and
the moment that you open these emails your computer will crash and you will not
be able to fix it! If you get an e-mail along the lines of 'Osama Bin Laden
Captured' or 'Osama Hanged', don't open the attachment. This e-mail is
being distributed through countries around the globe, but mainly in the US
and Israel Be considerate & send this warning to whomever you know. PLEASE
FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CONTACTS: You should
be alert during the next days: Do not open any message with an attached
file called 'Invitation' regardless of who sent it. It is a virus that opens
an Olympic Torch which 'burns' the whole hard disc C of your computer.
This virus will be received from someone who has your e-mail address in his/her
contact list, that is why you should send this e-mail to all your
contacts. It is better to receive this message 25 times than to receive
the virus and open it If you receive a mail called 'invitation', though
sent by a friend, do not open it and shut down your computer immediately. This
is the worst virus announced by CNN, it has been classified by Microsoft as
the most destructive virus ever. This virus was discovered by McAfee
yesterday, and there is no repair yet for this kind of virus. This virus
simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where the vital information is
kept. SEND THIS E-MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW

At fist when I read some of it (without reading the first part) and saw that it said "Osama Binladin Has been Hung" I was like

cause I wasn't expecting that. But then I saw that it was about a evil email and laughed at myself for doing that again.

Thanks for the heads up

Wow, thanks for the info I never got this email, I guess I consider myself lucky!

OMG, I got a Christian invitation on my email & opened it, but it never gave me an Olympic Torch.

My computer didn't crash & is running smoothly.

Even if the message contained a Torch, my Mcafee software might of destroyed it before it got my PC.
